Everything about a Phoenix Organ makes it authentic to its pipe organ counterpart.   Our goal is to build for you the best possible musical instrument that will meet your particular needs.  We can provide whatever tonal palate you wish, be it  Baroque, Romantic, French, English, American or your own eclectic choice.  Our designers can assist you in ensuring that the instrument has musical integrity and meets your musical requirements.   Staff at Phoenix Organs have extensive experience of designing organs for both liturgical and concert use.

The Phoenix Organ System was developed in the UK and has been designed from the “ground up”, with no technical pre-conceptions, and is the most flexible on the market today. We continue to develop the system in UK.  Recent developments have enabled us to increase the amount of memory available to store sound samples  (up to 2048MBytes in our largest systems) further enhancing the quality and authenticity of the Phoenix Sound.  All the Phoenix Organ Systems used in instruments built in the UK and overseas are manufactured in the UK.

Old-world craftsmanship and the highest standards of excellence characterise the design and construction of our consoles.  The electronic elements of our organs are built to the highest standards and fully tested before shipping: we use standard electronic components to ensure their on-going availability. The sounds emanating from a Phoenix Organ, along with the look and feel of the console, will convince you that you are playing a truly fine pipe organ, one that you will  enjoy playing over and over again.

We believe that our instruments are the best substitute for the real thing.

Explore this site to find out why and order the CD to hear for yourself.  We can arrange demonstrations so that you can try out our organs yourself.  Contact your nearest agent or contact us directly.

To help you appreciate the excellent value our organs offer, we have prepared   specifications for a two manual and a three manual organ.  Please contact us (without obligation) for the current prices of these instruments  - we promise you will be pleasantly surprised.   The recent installation section of the web-site provides comprehensive details of some of the instruments we have recently installed.

What some of our customers have said about Phoenix Organs

"We commissioned a three manual custom built draw-stop instrument from Phoenix Organs UK made from pine and stained to match the interior at Nazareth Unitarian Chapel Padiham.  Over a few months following delivery, the digital sound samples were adjusted and finished on-site so that the organ instrument sound as we wished in the Chapel.   We have had a number of concerts organised for the instrument and the general consensus of the audience has been most favourable.   
I cannot speak too highly of the painstaking attention of David Bostock, not a merely before its production, but during the installation and especially afterwards. Nothing has been too much trouble.  I unreservedly commend the company to anyone considering a digital instrument of high quality at a most competitive price!"

Barry R Brown
(Organist, Padiham Nazareth Unitarian Chapel
)

"The Phoenix organ at Penallt has exceeded all expectations, not just in  the realism of its sound but in the variety and authenticity of its colours. It demonstrates persuasively that given high quality samples,  amplification and digital design systems the physical limitations   suggested by a traditional pipe organ can be left behind whilst  maintaining the aural illusion of a fine pipe instrument."

David R Murray (Penallt Church Organist)
